Happy Birthday to You . . .


Drew turned 2 years old on Saturday - I cannot believe it! I woke up that morning to hear him over the baby monitor counting from 1 to 10. How can this be??? It's like he was annnouncing to me - you don't have a baby anymore, Mommy, I am a big boy!

Several weeks ago when we were in Illinois, we had a birthday party for Drew. In Drew's eyes, this was the 'official' party because from that day forward, he told everyone he was two years old. (And, amazingly enough, a few 2-year old temper tantrums came right along with it). His favorite part of the party was the cake. We went to Disneyworld last spring with Grandma & Grandpa. At the close of this trip, he chose a Nemo stuffed toy as his treat. He sleeps with it everynight, so a Nemo cake seemed to be appropriate. This birthday proved to be very much about 'boy' things - balls, cars, trains, dinosaurs, etc. were all great gifts!

But, we couldn't let his actual birthday pass without a little more fun - and another NEMO cake. So, we celebrated again this weekend.

Happy Birthday, Little Man! We love you!
